somo Interesting Discoveries Recently

Recently there were some strange
discoveries in the land of the cave
jewellers, not far from the ella river, in
the Sierra Madre range in Arizona.
The place of sepulture was securely
sealed with cement and was difficult to
penetrate. Great excitement was caused
by the discovery among the Indians of
the neighborhood, who believing that
the mummies were the mortal remains
of some of the ancient deities, would
fain have prevented their removal. The
strange treasure trove was taken away
only after Several skirmishes.
Who were they? That is Il question
that will probably never be answered.
What were they? This question is
answered in the care taken for the pres
ervation of their bodies and the skill
with which form and feature were pre-
served to last for ages. They were evil

SIXTY YEARS AGO,
Methods of Teaching That Will Seem
Funny to Pupils of To-Day.

Funny to Pupils of To-Day.
In those days the first exercise was
reading two verses from the Testament.
by the older pupils, who had back seats,
while the small children were nearest
the fire. After the reading if the
teacher was man of prayer he offered
one. This was done while the little
ones were roasting before the fire.
Then began the exercises in Webster's
spellingbook, the teacher in winter
pointing to the letters with penknife,
and in summer with the point of mis-
scissors, as they were more or less in
use.
Thumps were generally on the head,
with a thimble on the teachers finger,
if female. Then came the study of
alb, alb. Then reading was begun with
the maxim: LET no man put off the
law of Cod Then as the reader pro-
crossed came the stories in Webster's
spelling book of the unfortunate and
silly dairy maid who, with her milk
pail on head, calculated how many eggs
she would sell it for and what a fine
dress she would buy, until, tossing her
head with these prideful reflections,
down came the milkpail to the ground
and with it all her sweet hopes.
Then there was the moral story about
the boys stealing apples. The farmer
first tried to stop them by throwing
tufts of grass, but finding them of no
effect lie threw stones, which were more
effectual. The American Preceptor
succeeded that book. The children
were given recess, though it was not
known by that name. The boys went
first by themselves, and afterwards the
girls. At recess the teacher mended
the goose-quill pens, the quilts being
picked up oftentimes while the children
were on the way to school. They would
be damp, and split could not well be
made to form the two nibs. If there
were girls who could not learn the
"rule of three" the teacher explained
it during the recess. Shortly came a
rap on the window to call in all the
children. After geography followed a
lesson in grammar, forty minutes long,
which none of the children understood,
but most of them hated. Ruled paper
was not known. The father bought u
few sheets of paper, which were stitched
at home. 1t was of all qualities. The
teacher had to rule the lines and keep
busy mending the pens. The ink was
home made.
Later on came the Columbian Orator
and English Reader filled with solid
matter, not suited to the wants of the
learner. Children of sixteen, or about
that age, got to read very well, the
book passing from class to class. The
girls were generally the best readers.
There were no regular classes in arith-
metic, but the books were Daboll's and
Pixies arithmetics. No lessons were
given out, but pupil would get on as
he could. The teacher, if he could,
would work out "sum." He had a
book with the problems worked out.
When pupil was troubled he would
copy it into similar book in his desk,
and this satisfied both teacher and
pupil. But the happiest exercise was
at the end of the week; reciting from
the commandments and the catechism
and the tables of weights and measures.
The books of the Old Testament had to
be recited in order. -NeW London Dan.

Word has reached Paris that Ra-

maLder in the French navy, has sue
cumbed to an attack Of African fever
in the Congo, where he had been en-
gagged during four or five months on
a special mission as NJ. dc Brazza's
coadjutor. Gabriel Felix, for he bore
his illustrious mothers name, was a
gallant sailor, aud during the seige
of Paris proved himself dashing
soldier. When the Versailais
marched upon the capital, his nose
was carried away by a Communard
bullet, aud his face, which bore a
strong resemblance TO the great &C.
tress, remained sadly dis6gured
since. A week ago we heard the
poor fellow had been deprived OF his
reason, aud it is almost consoling to
know that his sufferiugs we're not
protracted. Rachel loved her two
sons with the deepest affection. Dur
log her long agony their names we're
ever on her lips. In one
of her letters, dated from
Thebes, she says: All 81 je
